So I've come to the realisation that any time a post on this board has anything to do with a scene from the Simpsons, multiple posters will fall over themselves to post the quote or link it on youtube.

God bless you all :D

That's mostly because the Simpsons is such a relatable television show in regards to quoting.

I shouldn't have laughed at this:

http://www.theage.com.au/world/dna-...-couple-as-marias-parents-20131026-2w7mv.html
DNA tests have confirmed a Bulgarian Roma couple as the biological parents of Maria, a mystery blond girl whose discovery in a Greek Roma camp last week made global headlines
http://www.theage.com.au/world/dna-...-couple-as-marias-parents-20131026-2w7mv.html

I love that the narrative of this is that the girl might have been some pure nordic princess kidnapped by horrible gypsies and now being returned to her first-world true parents like an aryan fairy tale, but that it now turns out its just gypsies & gypsies doing gypsy things all by themselves.

From a human perspective, I am absolutely not sure that moving the girl from her `parents' and home in Greece is going to improve her life, and may make it shitter.
